Josiah works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Josiah earns a 2% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sale

s he makes, and earns a 7% commission on all computer sales. Josiah had $300 more in computer sales than in phone sales and earned a total of $156 in commission. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the dollar amount of phone sales Josiah made and the dollar amount of computer sales he made. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Define variables:

Let p equal the dollar amount in phone sales

Let c equal the dollar amount in computer sales

System of equations:

0.02p+0.07c=156

c=p+300

I verified that my answer aligns perfectly with what was expected after I submitted it on DeltaMath

hope this helps<3

Response: the equations are

0.02x + 0.07y = 156

y = 300 + x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denote the dollar amount from phone sales made by Josiah.

Let y indicate the dollar amount from his computer sales.

Josiah receives a 2% commission on his phone sales total and 7% on his computer sales. He accumulated a total of $156 in commission, leading to the equation

0.02x + 0.07y = 156 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Furthermore, it’s given that Josiah had $300 more in computer sales than in phone sales, expressed as

y = 300 + x

AnnZ [12381]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 7!

In absence of any restrictions, the answer is 7! as it represents the permutations of all animals.

b) 4! x 3!

Considering there are 6 cats and 5 dogs, the first and last slots must be occupied by cats to ensure alternate arrangements. The only options available then are based on the arrangement of the cats among themselves and the dogs among themselves, yielding 4! permutations for the cats and 3! for the dogs, thus leading to a total of 4! x 3! arrangements.

c) 3! x 5!

Here, the arrangement of the dogs among themselves can occur in 3! ways. Considering the dogs as a singular “object,” we can arrange this unit with the 4 cats, providing 5! total arrangements possible, leading to 3! · 5! arrangement possibilities.

d) 2 x 4! x 3!

In this scenario, both cats and dogs must be grouped together, allowing positions where all cats come before the dogs or vice versa. As there are two configurations, the resultant count is 2 multiplied by both arrangements, resulting in 2 x 4! x 3!

A frame around a rectangular family portrait has a perimeter of 60 inches. The length is 15 inches less than 2 times the width.
zzz [12365]
2(2w-5) + 2w = 50

4w - 10 + 2w = 50

6w - 10 = 50

6w = 60

w = 10

The length is calculated as 2(10) - 5 = 20 - 5 = 15

I hope this is useful!!

What is the cosine ratio for angle F?
babunello [11817]

Response:

option D

Step-by-step reasoning:

Provided in the prompt is a right-angled triangle FGH.

Base of triangle = 12

Height of triangle = 5

Hypotenuse of triangle = 13

To solve the question, we'll apply trigonometric identities.

cos(F) = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos(F) = height / hypotenuse

cos(F) = 5 / 13

Thus, the cosine ratio for angle F is 5 / 13
